Have at least one vanguard, doesn't matter what the race is, have at least one Asari with Stasis Bubble, a Drell with pull is great against Guardians, and someone with Overload doesn't hurt (Turian Sentinel, because he can still set off combos). Stick kind of close to each other and play fairly reckless.
At least it's not a fucking Hurricane.
Ug. I get one more sub machine gun in my specter packs I am going to scream.

Does anyone get the feeling that the spectre unlock system kind of favors the weapons you already have unlocked instead of being completely random? Out of the 18 possible weapons that you can get from a spectre pack, after all the ones I've bought, I have a Disciple 6, Spike Thrower 4, Arc Pistol 1, Saber 1 and Claymore 1. Is it a coincidence that 10 out of 13 packs that gave me weapons have given the same 2 weapons over and over?
Gotta make you buy dem points. Plus thats why you dont get gold for actually winning. Bring back Premium Veteran!
On the day of release I already met one guy online who said he dropped $60 on the game to try and get a Black Widow and he did. SMH.

Actually had a pretty good game of gold just now. Didn't finish it, but almost got to the end of wave 10 and we got the objectives.
Just wish I'd had my stasis bubble for it. And that there wasn't some shitty asari vanguard who scored 20K points. Talk about dead weight.

First rule of mine is: if they revived me, i'll revive them, doesn't matter the situation or the distance. I'll go as far as to revive you while you are lying prone at the smelly, rotten feet of a banshee. That's what brothers do.
If someone gets downed before I can get an idea whether they are team-players or not, I do as follow:
-if they piggyback points (shooting grunts while you are grinding an Atlas armor and then appearing out of nowhere for a final shot with their widow/valiant) they die
-if they are vanguards who happen to always be there when you're brutalizing someone with heavy melee but never there to get you up when you are down, they die.
-if they are vanguards who charge into brutes, banshee and ravagers, while Marauder Shields keeps buffing cannibals and husks undisturbed, they die
-if they are the ones who don't get into hacking range because they want to farm points flanking the enemy, they die. Only exception is those infiltrators who actually take out geths and reapers who are swarming the hack zone: they pick those nasty geth pyros and run like hell to the rescue if the entire team gets downed. They are heroes.
-if they start pistol-whipping you at the start of a wave for no reason at all, I'll come and get them when they are down, then I'll stop, then I'll shoot them two or three times to make sure they KNOW I could have saved them if I'd happen to care, and then I'll leave.
-if they are those greedy little bastards who always get right in the front, they die. I don't mean the guys who get in the way when some phantom or some banshee is wrecking havoc where the team is camping, I mean the ones, generally Battlefield 3 soldiers, who in a TOTALLY open area manage to always appear in front of you when you knock down some trooper.
I don't think nor Bioware or Ubisoft realized the potential of the idea they got. As matter of fact I'm quite fascinated that in this current videogaming era, all of the devs who try to place themselves at the top spot for online domination, planning extensive multiplayer modes with four to five hours single player modes, all end up crashing and burning disastrously (Brink, Homefront) while devs who put multiplayer in their titles like an afterthought end up facing success. I know it's still early to declare ME3 multi successful, but Dead Space 2, Warhammer 40k, Transformers war for Cybertron all had fun, entertaining, well planned multiplayer modes yet none of them got their own specific thread.
THIS
Fixed that for you. I would've rather gotten a Scorpion, at least that gun is interesting, though probably not all that effective. The Wraith plays like most other shotguns, just with some different variables.

I might just be misreading your points but aren't these the opposite of each other? Sometimes I know the rest of the team can handle an atlas/brute without my help and it's not only faster to clear a round by taking out the other grunts and marauder shields's brothers but it also prevents the team from getting flanked by them and dying.
Anyway, I think I'm done with this for the moment. Not good enough to be able to do well on gold and I honestly find the cover controls annoying in tense situations. Grinding spectre packs as a result is more of a chore than actual fun.

I'm still trying to figure out why there hasn't been a Weapons Pack.

Yea I just got it too. I now have the Graal Spike Thrower, Disciple, Geth Plasma and Claymore.
I also hate shotguns.
Yeah that's part of the reason. It's also fairly accurate, does decent damage and has a strong stagger on impact.
On 360 Firebase Ghost @_@
At the far end of the map there is a capture objective. I got at least nine grabs there. I'm going to try carrying a Widow and a shredder Claymore.
Spent half my bank on spectre packs and two equipment packs. Nothing too terrible. I can carry 5 clips, 3 cobras, 3 survival packs and 5 medigel. For some odd reason the packs generously leveled my Geth Shotgun from V to IX.
dat stagger
Teams of infiltrators/adepts own Reapers on silver. I much prefer them to geth as an asari.
Saved up like 500,000 credits today, left to get something to eat, started it up again, bought a package and got the Black Widow, which I was trying to get.
Also finally got the Shotgun Shredder Mod, which was the last thing I needed for shotguns for a good while now, along with Claymore IV.

Hornet isn't bad with Human Vanguard. Low weight, pretty high damage.
Give the GPS a try. To me, it feels like it's got more in common with Halo's plasma pistol than a shotgun.

Wraith is fucking awesome.

Well shit. When I started my last game I had something like 7k credits. After finishing it, I have 3.7 million credits. Did I end up joining a hacked server? I seem to recall someone got banned from Origin for doing so. What should I do here? Contact EA support?

Normally I would say contact EA, but they might just ban you without listening to reason, so I'm not entirely sure.
They will find out anyway, just like that guy who got banned for not telling anything. I suppose its safer to tell EA/Bioware before spending all those credits? I dunno.

Contacted EA support. They told me to post it on the Bioware forum because they can't help. So that's what I'm doing now.

The strategy is to shoot and mine the target while running away. No idea how well that works though.
Agreed.
Also, got a Carnifex today. Holy shit this gun makes half the classes so much better.
If any of you were curious about the reticules not lowering after releasing the trigger, some guy compiled which guns do and don't: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/10847572
